Theatre Space North East was founded on the belief that theatre should be for everyone and not confined to the walls of a traditional venue. We believe theatre can happen anywhere there are people—whether that’s in a park, classroom, pub, or churchyard. Since our first production in August 2012, we’ve been dedicated to making theatre accessible to a wide range of audiences, regardless of their background or location.

Our work extends beyond the stage and into schools, universities, and community spaces throughout the UK. By breaking down the barriers of where theatre is performed, we create experiences that are relevant and meaningful to everyday life. From historical re-enactments to interactive performances, our shows are designed to inspire and engage people wherever they are.

Based in Sunderland, we’re passionate about integrating arts and creativity into the heart of communities. Theatre is more than just entertainment—it’s a way to connect, challenge perspectives, and bring people together. We are proud to foster a culture where theatre is a shared experience for all, making it a vital part of the cultural landscape in our region and beyond.
